Replying to: billward (Sep 21, 2009 3:57 am) Yes,but at 7,000 miles?Dealer flushes transmisson,which puts old fluid backwith new.When time comes,I will have pan removed to drain ALL fluid,which is recommended by trans repair shops.

Replying to: duke16 (Sep 28, 2009 9:55 am) I think you might have that wrong. A flush using a dedicated transmission "flushing" machine actually replaces all the old transmission with new by pumping old fluid out while replacing it with fresh including the torque converter. Whereas dropping the pan only allows access to about 70% (I believe) of the old fluid because the remainder is trapped in the torque converter so that is the scenario where old is mixed with new fluid not the other way around. So, I don't know what transmission shop would recommend leaving up to 30% of the old stuff in place if it isn't necessary.

Replying to: duke16 (Sep 28, 2009 9:55 am) You only get 50 to 70% the fluid out if you drop the pan. You need to drain the torque converter also. The best way would do the power flush and repace the filter also. Dropping the pan does give you a visual of what is going on.

Replying to: jal012773 (Sep 08, 2009 5:50 am) I'd say you either have a slightly loose lower control arm or loose top strut mount (common).

Replying to: newowner10 (Sep 28, 2009 12:49 pm) I don't normally do a "me too" post, but what you said.   Also, the best mechanics power flush about 1 1/5-2x the amount of fluid the system holds, in order to insure that all liquid has been fully replaced. And as mentioned, you need to drain the torque converter.   Open, drain, flush, close (late in the flush, when you know you have the system refilled with a continuous stream), fill.   Very different, and much more effective, than drop pan, pour out old tranny fluid, reattach pan, and refill. That would actually scare me in a modern transmission, as it could leave the possibility of air bubbles in the system.
#7786 of 7814 rear window defrost button by sbch Oct 01, 2009 (12:04 pm)
Hi. I just bought a used HySon 2006. Can someone please point me to the rear window defrost button? Thanks. Replies to this message: msallmen (Oct 01, 2009 12:24 pm) sbch (Oct 01, 2009 12:29 pm) james1982 (Oct 01, 2009 2:30 pm) jal012773 (Oct 02, 2009 5:52 am) msallmen (Oct 02, 2009 7:10 am)

Replying to: sbch (Oct 01, 2009 12:04 pm) I have a 2008, but the design is the same, I believe. Take a look at the center of your fan speed selector knob. Push that to activate the rear defroster. The A/C switch is designed the same way on the air temperature knob. The setup may be different for automatic climate control.   You may want to register on the Hyundai site and download a user's manual.   Now, if someone can tell me the purpose of the blinking red light on top of the dash, I'll be all set!

Replying to: msallmen (Oct 01, 2009 12:24 pm) I thought it might be that one, but the picture is not obvious. Registering is a good idea. I'll do that. Thanks for your help. Which blinking red light do you mean?

Replying to: msallmen (Oct 01, 2009 12:24 pm) Now, if someone can tell me the purpose of the blinking red light on top of the dash, I'll be all set!   I'm 99.9% sure that it is a way to signal that the theft deterrent is armed. Even if the doors aren't armed (i.e. the car honks when the doors ar opened), I think that the light itself is a deterrent.   That's my guess.

Replying to: sbch (Oct 01, 2009 12:04 pm) Rear defrost button is in the center of the large vent selecter knob if it is manual a/c. If auto climate, I have no idea. Replies to this message: msallmen (Oct 02, 2009 7:10 am)
